You can use regular expressions in the location, no need for separate
"if":

location ~ ^(\/|\.html|\.jpg|\.php|\.png|\.css|\.ico|\.js|\.swf|\.gif|robots\.txt)$ {
return 444;
}

Also, double-check your regex. It looks like you've misplaced your
parens in the original, you have (^...)$ and it should be ^(...)$.

Cliff
